Mary Theresa Forster

“In My Father’s House are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.” John 14:2

Mary Theresa (Flint) Forster (Tee Dee), 76 of Leonardtown, MD, full of faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ, ascended into one of those mansions on Tuesday October 3, 2023, in Clinton, MD.
